Ok sorry to mistaken you.
But for one thing, electricity will not kill the fishes in a tank because not grounded. Maybe that aro was in a pond which explains it.

No, i did not switch 24/7... i set timer to switch on from 6pm to 9am.. 15 hours a day... and this LED got 20000 hrs lifespan, so can last 3 years and 6 mths for 15hours a day.
If i switch on 24/7, it will last only 2 years and 2 mths (in theory).

Intend to switch on during home hours too. 15 hours will warm up significantly?
